More over, when it comes to automation, it is not really matter as long as machine can validate it correctly. Human do not have to go and see each and every input and output while the tests are passed. Of course, it is needed when in doubt.
There is aslo other possible way to see assertions goes fine:
Try asserting for negative using wrong string. And a postitive assert.
If still in doubt, Save the response into a file and open it in any editor of your choice to see it is the right.
Just curious: Have you bothered what request has gone in the request, first place? Response is later part.
That is why I was saying.
Of course we have gone through both negative and positive assertion. We also understand it is only a matter of failing to display, but when it comes to managing thousands of test cases, when a test case fail, we do not want to go through one by one and just to find out because we have asserted a wrong text.
